I've recently read a book and played a game that had redemption arcs in them, and it just got me thinking about them and why I love them. So I thought I'd do a little discussion on why I like them and what makes them work for me, and then give some...
I don't think the first line of a book has to be the absolute best. Truthfully, how many people are reading ONLY the first line and then giving up on a book? I do think a great first line can hook a reader who might've been on the fence though. And regardless, I just thought it'd be a fun idea to look at the opening lines of some different books... and have a fight to the death! Just kidding...
It's December 31st! One year is ending, and a new one is beginning. Call me what you will (some would go with pessimist, I say realist), but I'm not feeling very positive about it, not when all my problems from this year are just carrying over into the new one. But I know no one wants to end their year by listening to me complain, so luckily I do have some good things to share about the past four...
I've already shared with you all my favorite covers and favorite characters from books I read in 2018, so that means... it's finally time to share my favorite books! I don't know why I keep calling these posts "Top Ten" when I never manage to stop at just ten. My blog is just full of lies. It sounds good as a post title though, you know? Anyway, I'm excited, as I always am for this post, because...
When Aurelia asks Oberon to provide blood for Olivier while he's locked away, he agrees, seeing it as his chance to get revenge on the vampire. Meanwhile, Aurelia's plans are finally coming together with the help of all her witches, only for them to suddenly start falling apart. It will take everyone working together, and possibly some sacrifices, if they're going to defeat Xadrak once and for...
Aurelia reveals that she's a witch in order to help her brothers flee after they're turned into vampires, but doing so sets off a chain of events that leaves her duty-bound to become immortal and help her mother protect the world from a demon who would wreak havoc. But she's not alone; her eternity will be spent with the oracle Hame... who doesn't love her back the way she wants him to. Then...
We're getting closer and closer to the end of 2018, but we've still got one more month, and that means it's time for the last sci-fi/fantasy book releases post of the year! I don't know if December is a big month for releases, what with everyone being busy around the holidays, but there are still a few more books coming out that I'm excited...
I wanna start by letting my fellow bloggers know that I've not been avoiding you all! I've just not been doing a good job of bloghopping lately because I'm still having dental problems (here's the latest update about that---basically I've already been to 9 appointments and still have at least 10 or 11 more at the very minimum, including at least one minor surgery, but it'll probably turn out to...
Thierry spends his days working in a filthy abattoir and dealing with an abusive father and an obsessive twin brother he can't escape from even in his own mind due to their empathic connection. The one good thing he has is his secret relationship with Etienne. But Olivier, wants Thierry all to himself, condemns them both to immortality as vampires when given the opportunity, and will continue to...
That's right, it's me, your friendly neighborhood vampire-loving book blogger, back with another post full of vampire book recommendations! Here's my previous post, if you'd like to see it. This time, it's all about the M/M* ones. *Many of these are more urban fantasy than strictly romance, but they all have m/m romance as part of their story. I admit it's been a while since I've read some...
